National Muslim Women’s Advisory Group (NMWAG) have introduced an innovative project aimed at increasing the levels of Civic awareness and participation amongst Muslim Women, visit the website http://www.localleadership.gov.uk for an application form and FAQs which are also attached below, to apply for a free place on this unique course by 23 February 2009.
NMWAG was formed in November 2007 and is made up of 19 Muslim women from all over country representing a wide spectrum of communities, professions and traditions. We are determined that more Muslim women should ‘play their part and make their mark’ in the wider civic society.
We want to work with you to develop a civic skills programme that can provide the skills, knowledge and confidence, networks and mentors to seek public office at all levels including schools, voluntary groups and local councils. Women have much to contribute and now is the time for them to become fully engaged, have courage and conviction and step forward to achieve their true potential and act as inspiring role models for their families, communities and wider society.
